What's the best job for me (crosspost)

Original post "Hey guys, been doing some thinking lately... Do I really want to go into trading?

I like doing dilligent due dilligence, speaking to other investors, contacting companies' IR, following the markets as a whole..

Is trading the best thing? If not, what else do you suggest I have a look at?

Thanks for the help!"

Now some people suggested working in a Hedge Fund, or PE, What type of job should I be looking for in a HF?

Cheers
